{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

Well I must say that I love it when I feel I have found a treasure! My first little treasure that I have found that I am sharing with you was this Wooden Bowl. I spotted it at GW and thought it looked like it needed a home. For a mere $2 I brought it home but as you can see it was $19.99 at Target. Looks lovely on top of my Jelly Cabinet in my kitchen. 

 
  

Yes, as you will see I love wooden bowls. Found another one I really LOVE that sits on my counter in kitchen and as of right now it hold hubbies debbie cakes! The bowl was beautiful to me and heavy. Also another Target item. I found this one at a Consignment shop for $4.

  
  

I really don't know what I am going to do just now with this lovely lamp! Found it at GW for $2.99. I loved it. So elegant looking. I am headed in the direction of creating a candle holder out of it and taking the lighting socket off the top. When I do that project I will be sure to post about it. I

 


Found this beautiful mirror at a good old fashion yard sale for $1. Love the shape and the color!
 


And last but not least one of my little treasures was a "Princess House" piece for $1.99 at GW. Yep, don't look like much but it has great potential. I can already see a centerpiece being made!

    Thanks for visiting me. I can definitely see the lamp as a candle holder. I also love wooden pieces. The bowl in my banner picture is an antique bread bowl, and I just love it.

    You must have a great Good Will store. I love the idea of making a candleholder out of the lamp.

    Hi! I checked out your blog. Your creations are great (I love that they are
    practically all thrift store finds!) and your story about the porcelain doll
    had me laughing out loud! AND, those wedding pics at the top of your blog
    are gorgeous! Is that your daughter??

    That lamp is so neat looking..almost like it wants to be a chandelier. I would have grabbed that little mirror, too..I may have a mirror and lamp addiction now that I think about it. :-)

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...

{Tea Cup and Mug Exchange} So much fun!

I joined the talented and gifted Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose blog for her tea cup and mug exchange. This was my 3rd time of participating and it was so much fun. Stephanie will be posting on her Blog about the exchange on Wednesday so be sure to hop over there this week and visit.  http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/   Linda from https://ladylindateacup.blogspot.com/  was given my name to send a teacup too.   She went above and beyond and needless to say, I could not wait to open my package when it arrived. It felt like Christmas opening up all those sweet packages. I am in love with my new tea cup! Isn't she a beauty? And of course I named her, "LADY LINDA" . Just look at all the sweet things that Lady Linda sent to me! Look at that precious Dress Dish Towel she made for me! So, so cute! It was so nice to make a new blogging friend and I truly do enjoy our exchanges. I was given Margie's name to ...
